-Out went the Elite's fibreglass chassis and Coventry Climax engine, replaced by a steel backbone design and Lotus-Ford Twin Cam engine. Unlike the Elite it was available as a roadster, with the coupé introduced three years later in 1965.
-In 1967 Lotus introduced the Elan +2, a lengthened version of the Elan Coupé which as the name suggested added a pair of rear seats
-The Elan proved to be a huge success for Lotus, selling around 17,000 cars over its 15 year life.
-The TV show Wheeler Dealer featured a 1968 Lotus Elan S4 which they restored, fixing common problems such as faulty pop up headlights, vague steering, worn and poor paintwork.
-The original Elan is seen as one of the main inspirations for the Mazda MX-5, which launched the same year as Lotus's own Elan M100.
